Hi Joni,

Yes you’re right eating food when you get the best from it nutrient wise is definitely the way to go. We’re lucky to eat a lot of our veg straight from the plot so it’s in peak condition.

Oh and labelling is a rule in our house – its so frustrating to defrost one thing thinking its another!

Thank you for aiming to reduce your waste of food. But please keep in mind the importance of food nutrition for yourself and your family. As food ages it loses nutrition value. Freezing and canning food also reduces it’s nutritional value. Reducing food waste is important but you don’t want your actions cause you consume food of lower health value. Sometimes it is best to consider composting older food.

Make sure to mark all freezer containers with dates and check your freezer along with your fridge before meal planning.
